didn't lose anything i can't afford to, and i definitely knew the risks coming in... that said, this just furthers my opinion that the whole "problem" with crypto-currency is the inability to establish trust... credit/lending/currency value/etc it's all based on trust, and if we can't establish any real trust mechanisms, all the crypto-currencies are doomed... even though seemingly unrelated, this kind of thing eats away a little more every day at the "trust" in bitcoin (the torch barer for crytpo-currencies), and that makes me sad knowing the promise this all could have.
The truth is, 'crypto' didn't do this to you - one guy did.
He provided no proof of anything. He made some claims and asked for people to send him money. In any other industry on earth, NO ONE would send money to such a person with such a plan.
That said, losses still suck and I understand your feelings. There are a LOT of lowlifes involved in the altcoin scene. If everyone starts demanding more transparency then it can be expected.
P.S. is anyone else already completely sick of seeing the 'giant turd pile' image posted on threads? I was eating a few Doritos and that turns me off.
